It looks as though it was one-and-done for Eduards Tralmaks and the Detroit Red Wings organization.
Tralmaks, who was signed by the Red Wings last March to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2025-26 season, has signed a contract in Czechia – but also made it clear that if an opportunity to return to North America presented itself, he would consider it.

“I’ll be ready, I have a signed contract in Czechia, however, if an NHL offer comes my way, I can still consider it and go back to the NHL,” Tralmaks explained. “This is the month when hockey ends and agent work begins. I think that in a month and a half we’ll see where I’ll be in the future.”

His 26 goals were second overall on the club behind only John Leonard‘s 33 goals. He also registered four goals in eight Calder Cup Playoff games.
Before signing with the Red Wings, Tralmaks played with Rytíři Kladno in the Czech Extraliga, and led the club in scoring with 23 goals and 28 assists for 51 total points, which were good for the most of any player in Czechia’s top professional league.
